Long English Translation
Sitting alone on the top of the hill is an old looking girl
Sitting alone on the top of the hill, she looks down at the town
Next to her is a restless-looking antenna seller
Making antennas for the girl
She sure was a good person, so I'm glad she fell in love with me
She sure was a good person, so I'm glad I could like her, too
My brain is all cloudy
My brain is all cloudy
The antennas were on the top of the town's museum
The girl was the upstart granddaughter of the curator
She was 14 years old and talked too much
But she was so cute, and said
If the antenna seller falls, I'll catch him
She sure was a good person, so I'm glad she fell in love with me
She sure was a good person, so I'm glad I could like her, too
My brain is all cloudy
My brain is all cloudy
Shaka was a good person, so
My brain is all cloudy
My brain is all cloudy
The antenna seller is falling from the roof, feet slipping
Falling down and making noise above where the girl is waiting
The antennas get all rusty, bathed in the moonlight
The radio waves coming from the antennas on the roof,
They're shalala shaka shaka
She sure was a good person, so
I'm glad she fell in love with me
She sure was a good person, so
I'm glad I could love her too
My brain is all cloudy
My brain is all cloudy
My brain is all cloudy
My brain is all cloudy
My brain is all cloudy
My brain is all cloudy
My brain is all cloudy
My brain is all cloudy
Song Connections/Remixes
The original version of 釈迦 originally appeared on 筋肉少女帯's 1988 album 仏陀L (Buddha L).
A short edit of this version of 釈迦 is used in jubeat plus and REFLEC BEAT plus.
A rerecorded version of 釈迦, titled 大釈迦 (which is the version that was shortened for use in pop'n music) appears on 筋肉少女帯's 筋小の大車輪 (Kinshou no Daisharin / Kinshou's All-Out Effort) album, along with 日本印度化計画.
Trivia
With its EX chart rated 42 on the 1-43 difficulty scale, 釈迦 holds the record as one of the hardest licensed songs in pop'n music, tied with INSCRUTABLE BATTLE's EX chart.
The game-size versions of 釈迦 and 日本印度化計画 can't be found on any pop'n music original soundtracks.
Although 釈迦'sMimi wasn't playable in pop'n music 8 and its CS counterpart, she was later added as an unlockable character in pop'n music 10 and its CS counterpart.
In the pop'n music 12 いろは location tests, both 釈迦 and 日本印度化計画 were removed songs. However, both songs reappeared in the final release.
Also, both 釈迦 and 日本印度化計画 were still playable on the location test version of pop'n music Sunny Park. However, both songs were removed on the final release.
Music Comment
Kinniku Shoujo-tai appears in pop'n with a desperately strong antenna!
